	In June 1758, Cook discovered that the [[France\|French]] planned to launch a preemptive attack against the Royal Navy fleet and turn the tide in the [[Siege of Louisbourg]]. Once Gist and his allies had been notified, they set out to defeat the French [[ships]], with [[Shay Cormac]] taking the helm of HMS ''Pembroke''. After facing several fireships, they were able to destroy the reinforcements, allowing the Royal Navy to continue unimpeded and launch a decisive offensive on the ~~[[Forts\|Fortress]]~~ {{Wiki\|Fortress ~~of Louisbourg\|~~of Louisbourg}}.<ref name="~~ACRogue~~" />		In June 1758, Cook discovered that the [[France\|French]] planned to launch a preemptive attack against the Royal Navy fleet and turn the tide in the [[Siege of Louisbourg]].

	Following the Siege of Louisbourg, Cook was called on to track down [[Adéwalé]], the captain of the ''[[Experto Crede]]''. Successful in this endeavor, he informed his friends that their target resided at the fort on [[Île des Pins]], after which he departed.<ref name="~~ACRogue~~" /> ~~In the~~ next year, Cook participated in the Siege of Quebec City and the Battle of the Plains of Abraham.

	Later on, Cook encountered Shay once again at [[Percé]]. When asked whether he knew anything about [[Louis-Joseph Gaultier, Chevalier de la Vérendrye]], Cook told Shay that the man had departed for [[Anticosti Island]] a few days earlier.

	After de la Vérendrye had been dealt with, Cook questioned whether Shay Cormac and Gist were part of a larger group, but mistakenly assumed they received orders from the [[George II of Great Britain\|King]], rather than a secret organization.
